It transcribes customer speech, processes queries with LLaMA via Groq, and responds in the customer's native language using TTS.</p> <h2> Demo </h2> <p>Live: <a href="https://voiceassist-ai.vercel.app" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://voiceassist-ai.vercel.app</a><br> GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/rohan-jadhav-dev/voiceassist-ai" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/rohan-jadhav-dev/voiceassist-ai</a></p> <h2> The Comeback Story </h2> <p>The app was stuck at 6 languages after the hackathon. I used GitHub Copilot to identify the gaps — it analyzed the repo and created a PR adding Kannada and Urdu support with proper Unicode script detection, TTS fallback, and verification flows. Languages went from 6 to 8.</p> <h2> My Experience with GitHub Copilot </h2> <p>Copilot analyzed the entire repo, identified missing language support, and autonomously created a pull request with all the backend and frontend changes needed. It saved hours of manual work and the PR passed all checks on the first try.</p> devchallenge githubchallenge ROHAN JADHAV Thu, 04 Jun 2026 07:35:38 +0000 https://dev.to/rohan_jadhav_08594db53fa8/how-i-revived-voiceassist-ai-adding-kannada-urdu-support-with-github-copilot-1982 https://dev.to/rohan_jadhav_08594db53fa8/how-i-revived-voiceassist-ai-adding-kannada-urdu-support-with-github-copilot-1982 <h2> The Project </h2> <p>VoiceAssist AI is a multilingual voice assistant I built for bank branch counters during the iDEA 2.0 hackathon. It lets customers speak in their native language while bank staff respond in English — bridging the language gap in Indian banking.</p> <h2> The Problem (Before) </h2> <p>The app supported 6 languages but was missing Kannada and Urdu — two major Indian languages covering millions of bank customers. The code also had no proper script detection for non-Latin scripts.</p> <h2> How GitHub Copilot Helped </h2> <p>I asked Copilot to analyze the repo and suggest what was missing. It identified the language gaps, then automatically created a PR adding Kannada Devanagari script detection, Urdu Persian/Arabic script detection, TTS fallback handling, and updated the frontend language list from 6 to 8 languages.</p> <h2> The Result (After) </h2> <p>Languages expanded: 6 → 8<br> Kannada + Urdu voice input via Whisper STT<br> Proper Unicode script detection<br> Full verification flow in both languages</p> <h2> Links </h2> <p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/rohan-jadhav-dev/voiceassist-ai" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/rohan-jadhav-dev/voiceassist-ai</a><br> Live: <a href="https://voiceassist-ai.vercel.app" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://voiceassist-ai.vercel.app</a></p> githubchallenge devchallenge githubcopilot
